Seat Swap List: Compilation of Seats That Work in the CB7

[h22cb719]

Anyone know if the 'lude seats will work(any year) in the coupes? Front AND rears preferably....Im kind of picky like that....

I ask because I have a friend who has a recently totaled SH, and I was going to see about picking up his leathers....Will that work?

[P5ylance]

i remember reading about it, i think i remember there being some things you have to modify to get it to fit, railing stuff? it's not a direct fit though. lemme pull up that other seat faq, i know the answer was in there, lots of people fitting lude seats and some pictures and such. brb

I've heard about the fronts (4th gen, and 5th gen), i don't know so much about the rear, i haven't seen anyone try that, i dunno if it works. usually people just swap the front.

aight, found you some links bud

and [cp]mike's input on the 5th gen lude seats:

"Installed 99 (5th gen) lude seats in my CB7 last night, it was pretty easy, but harder than 4th gen lude seats. I swapped the inner slider (closest to the center console) from the accord seat onto the lude seat, it wasnt perfect but its easy to get it to fit... gonna take it off and enlarge one of the holes to make it a little better. since the inner slider is an accord one, it bolts in fine, then you need to pull on the outer slider to get it to line up with the hole, and lastly the back corner closest to the rear doors im going to need to bend and drill, but as of now, 3/4 bolts are in and the seat is sturdy, and they slide all the way forward and back and they are installed in my SEDAN. I will get pics eventually for your collection el!"

another member, this one discussing 4th gen lude seats:

We ended up having to customize the accord bracket mount holes (where it connets to the actual seat). We moved the holes as far as possibly over, (with it still having some room for give way)in order to widen the width of the prelude seat mount.We used the strongest bolts we could find to tighten it all back up... end result is a seat thats in there REALLY tight.

The mounting brackets didn't line up perfect, but I saw the same problem when I took my accord seats out and put them back in. You kinda gotta force one side in because the seat fits in there REALLY tight (a tad bit tighter than the accord, but not to the point where it's liable to break the bolts.) The holes were maybe 1-2 cm's off so just had to pull em over a tad to get em in.

The accord bracket pieces are VERY similar to the prelude and took very little modification to make them fit.

some people would probably still say that the seats are safe, but I got a friend of mine (slow904door as a matter of fact) to yank on them pretty good and they aren't goin anywhere (He's a pretty big guy as some of you will see this weekend)

overall I'm glad I took the 2 days that it took to do this, it was pretty tough at times trying to figure out a way to make em work, but with help from my friends (slow904door, MUGENS2002, and another guy thats not on here), we got it done.

EDIT: Oh and the seat goes back about the same, maybe a little farther

this is the other seat swap faq thread created on cb7tuner, you can also flip through the pages in this one and see if you need more answers, it might have it.

I wish i had access to 90-93 integra rear seats. They have headrests and i think they might fit cb7's.

Are you saying the rear teggys headrests will fit the front seats??

[AccordWarrior]

93 Prelude Si Seats retaining 90-91 autobelt.

All 92-96 seats should fit. I retained all 4 factory mounting holes by swapping the Prelude seat cushions onto the Accord rails. They sat a bit too reclined for my taste, but they looked really nice.

[P5ylance]

oh sweet, you were able to keep the 4 factory holes? I will be sure to make note of that. when i have a little more time on my hands i'll update the list with this new info, i gotta take care of some stuff right now

[Fenderx69]

for the integra seat swap did u put the back seats in too?

[stretch JDM]

very good thread... i felt like i was in debate class..and yea the tegra seats looked pimpin in the cb man..

[gdout90accord]

is there a DIY for 97-00 prelude seats for 90-91 with auto seatbelts? i have it all bolted up but the back cushion is is crooked.

[capncrunk]

Will any seat from a CB7 fit into one from a different year?

Like, will 92 seats fit OK in a 90 and vice versa?

Sure, you will just have to deal with the auto seatbelt issues. The whole auto seatbelt unit will unbolt from the rails though. Just swap over to the correct style and you're golden.
